Well there were definite mistakes so most likely it will grow on me later in the season, 'cause i really like the concept....

Here is a report from French Masters that includes pieces if P/B's SD and an interview.....it begins at 2:40 and again at 5:15....hope there are some french speakers out there who might be able to do some translating....

BTW....isn't Weaver/Poje's FD theme basically the same as P/B's Mummy from last season?.....lady comes to life at beginning of program and then returns to original form at the end.....i love the FD but thought it strange since they are both from the same camp....just my thought

Jeepers, not the Mummy! The whole yucky idea of the Mummy, was a man dancing with a corpse. I believe it was choreographed by their own choreographer. too. W/P's dance is a sort of Pygmalion story, which is an old theme, but they've used original moves and music. No 'dancing like an egyptian' to be found.

I'm not saying they are similar routines with similar moves and choreography....just the same basic concept....i mean i think in both programs the man and woman begins and ends in the same position as well...or i'm looking for something that isn't there....btw i didn't mind the 'dancing like an egyptian' program....lol.....

Doris, that year lives in my memory, because K/P also looked like statues, although they may have been gods. The unplanned joke was that Canadian TV carried an instant coffee commercial about statues coming down off their pedestals and clumping off to their coffee break, and played it roughly every ten minutes throughout the competition.

I browsed the Finlandia thread again and I realized that the SD have not been posted. B/S nd H/D had their short dance posted under other threads, but C/L have not I think (t least I have not seen it before).

Here it is and I have to confess, this is the most fun and best SD of this season IMO. If they will nail it, it will held them up really well:
A.Cappellinni /L.Lanotte - Seven brides for seven brothers

We have quite a few of these already listed, but their is more info about the cuts they have used. And I&K have announced their music. The Shibutanis have not yet.

Ilinykh & Katsalapov RUS
SD Andijan Polka http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lcr-BXpufaQ
The above is what comes up on youtube when you search for it. I like it!
Kurmanbek Saliyevich Bakiyev (the guy dancing) I think was president of Kyrgyzstan from 2006 to 2010

FD The Ghost (musical soundtrack)
(I'm not sure if this is the Swayze/Goldberg Ghost or some other movie)

Reed & Reed JPN
SD June Bride from ("Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" soundtrack); Barn Dance ("Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" soundtrack)
FD Golden Slumbers by The Beatles; Carry that Weight by The Beatles; The End by The Beatles

Thanks, doris for all the updates! I was really curious to know W/P's FD music. I bet that I/K's FD music is from Swayze and Moore's Ghost and have a kinda feeling that it'll nicely match up their Schindler's List FD.

Here's the updates of men's biographies prior to the start of the Grand Prix Season. If you don't see the skater that you're interested in here, they haven't filed their ISU update. Most of the USA skaters haven't filed an ISU update, but they have updated their bios for USFS on icenetwork.
